42 BIRCHGROVE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Newport local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 42 BIRCHGROVE CLOSE sales between April 2005 and January 2021 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the December 2018 sale was for 37% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% above the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it falls to 33% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% above the HPI.

What might 42 BIRCHGROVE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 20%, between January 2021 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Newport local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 20% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 42 BIRCHGROVE CLOSE of £260,005 on 27th January 2021. For the value to have increased from £260,005 to £312,099 over the two years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 42 BIRCHGROVE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Newport local authority area.
• The January 2021 sale price of £260,005 represented a fair market value for the property.
